Our Comprehensive Falls Prevention Programme
Our approach is proactive and highly personalised. We begin with a detailed assessment in your own home to evaluate your balance, strength, and mobility. We also conduct a home environment check to identify and provide advice on potential hazards, such as poor lighting or rugs.
Based on this, we create a targeted exercise plan focused on proven balance and strengthening exercises. As part of our specialist home physiotherapy service, we work with you one-on-one to ensure you can perform the exercises safely and effectively, empowering you to take control of your stability and maintain an active life.
